Part One: Watery Surfaces

Work of the Week with the NGV

 

Whether it was in the form of a river, the ocean or a backyard pond, rippling water was a favoured subject of the Impressionists.

 

Join NGV Educator, Theresa Powles, to explore how Alfred Sisley depicted the ever-changing nature of water in his painting, The Loing at Saint-Mammès, 1882.
